Did we do some sort of Quantum Leap type interdimensional travel when we were buckled at the hockey game on St. Patty’s day? Was this really our beloved local hockey squadron in action? Did Sam Gagner really have a hat trick to go along with his five points? Did “The Other Ales” have a 4 point night too? Did the mighty Oil really lay an 8-1 fruit booting to the dastardly Avalanche?

Great beard of Thor that was a hockey match. We aren’t nearly confident enough in this roster right now to draw any conclusions that would apply to the remainder of the season and we don’t want to jinx anything by being overly “optimistic.” But well done lads. Underpaid athletes getting ‘er done for the love of the sport really brings a tear to our one working eye.

All we can say is this:

Win tonight please.

Nation Party tonight

And speaking of tonight’s game against the Hawks, what better place to watch it then with 50 of your closest internet-related chums? It’s our second party of the year at Bourbon Street Hudsons tonight Nation and with a PPV of such magnitude on a Friday night, it promises to be a gong show regardless of how many show up. The last time we threw an orgy 1 person showed up. BUT – the last we threw a Nation party 52 peeps showed up. And Hudsons gives $2 to Kids with Cancer for every evite we redeem. That’s all kinds of nice and amounts to some kind of dough.

So come join us for some fun tonight rather than sitting at home wearing nothing but a smile waiting to pause your digital cable when Souray is prominently featured on screen so you can have a long conversation with the bearded one.*

An angel with porkchop trucker side burns

It was also brought to our attention late last night that superstar Citizen of the Nation buck75 has donated not one but TWO pairs of tickets to upcoming Oilers games for tonight's event. Are you kidding us buck75? Two sets of tickets? Are you an angel sent by the Hockey Gods?

While the rest of us sit around contracting herpes** or worse buck75 is donating more tickets to the Nation so that we can sell them at the party to raise loot for Kids with Cancer. What a guy.

*baggedmilk secenario only.
** It was 2003. Everyone had herpes back then.

Blog so hard motherf**ckers try and find me.
Tweet me @wanyegretz provided it is about Jordan Eberle or babes. Find me on instagram for photos of donairs.

I came across the site from Google as well. This site completely inspired me to write my own crap. Then it took me a week to come up with the Oilers Jambalaya name. Everyday I wake up and thank god for the OilersNation.

@ bingofuel:
The only maybe "downside" is that if you get paid per ad exposure, us hitting refresh a billion times means $$$ :) but if its per ad clicked then your gold. Of course maybe theres a way to put an add in the IRC client that would update every 5 minutes or something. You gotta fill Wanye's wallet somehow, hes still got a buttload more NHL cities to see games at!

Now a day's... When I finally get home from work and go to post my "GAME DAY!!!" (because I can't stop doing it), there only use to be 10 comments. Now there is a hundred by the time I get home. This site is the cats ass. (why is being a cats ass a good thing anyways?)

I found OilersNation.com through some kind of devine intervention. Something was pulsing deep inside of me that I just couldn't ignore any longer. Turns out it was Wanye Gretz and he said, "hey man I have a website. you should check it out?"

I first found my way to ON by the way of Facebook stalkers. After being asked to contribute I thought it would be a really great way to meet guys. Not your run-of-the-mill kind of guys but socially awkward, low self-esteem, take whatever they can get kind of guys. MY type of guys. And if you live in your parents basement, don't own a car, and play World of Warcraft when you aren't searching for celebrity boob shots- *SWOOON*

No, he didn’t. Four points (eye roll and cursory brain stem activity while searching for insult). Jackass.

Speaking of stat's that make you shake your head, can anyone explain to me how SportsNet and todays Journal have Whiffcoff at -1 when he had a point and Colorado only scored one goal?
*shruggs shoulders and shakes head in confusion*

@ Travis Dakin:
I did not know that bit bout the PP not counting towards +/-. That makes perfect sense now. Thanks so very much.
*skips happily to the office kitchen, humming to himself, to get another cuppa coffee*

@ Travis Dakin:
Ohh right, i thought it was just a typo and was supposed to be +1. Here is another question from that same piece of television awesomnitudeness: WTF was the point of that graphic? I think it showed Whiffcoff, Super Gagner and Kotaliiik (pronounced the same way as dereliiict from zoolander). So Gags and Kotalik have 4 points each and a nice + rating, then you have horc looking all sad with a 1 a 0 and a -1. Then the announcer guy basically says and heres some dudes on the oilers, Gagner and Kotalik are cool eh guys?
If they were comparing horcoff to the 2nd line to say: "the 2nd line carried the team tonight, look what the first line center did." then the graphic makes sense. but they didn't say anything about horcoff.
So why not just replace horcoff with Nilson on there and make the graphic title "LINE 2 IS HAWT FOR TEACHER!" I think they just whip random shit up on the screen to fill time and never have any purpose.

as close personal friends of Wanye and Bingo i've been reading from the begining, not posting. always pumping the tire of the nation, even to my friends in Calgary. i guess thats why they pay me so well... oh wait....

I started reading shortly after the Staples mention... I've been one of the silent majority for a long time... but have started to occaisionaly comment... but then I don't for a while because I worry that I am mispelling words like occaisionally... yes I am a spellcheck addict...

Dude, if you read this site daily then you have become familar with Deep Oil's ramblings and the complete bitch slapping of the english language of Jeanshorts and Baggedmilk. If you are spelling right, then you definately don't fit in. Let 'er fly man! The more the merrier. See like that.... Merrier, marryier, marrier? Whatever, the more the happier.
